I bought my home a few months ago, but this Tax Notice is for a full year. Am I responsible for the entire amount?
According to State law, property taxes are a lien against the property, not against an individual owner.
When property is bought or sold during the year, the title company prorates the property taxes at closing.
lf you need more information about this, please review your settlement statement or contact the title company or bank that handled the transaction.
